It has been cold and cloudy and rainy off and on all day. Missing the sunshine.
I was in Emporia a little before 9:00 this morning. We did 16 returns today. Last month we only did 12 a day but bumped it up to 16 a day for March. Had a few that challenged me but we work well as a team and someone always knows the answer to the challenge. We got out of there around 12:30 which wasn’t bad. Sometimes when we did 12 we were there until 1:00 or after.
I stopped at Bobby D’s and had lunch. I was going to stop at Walmart to pick up a prescription but it was raining and I chickened out. I will either drive in tomorrow to get it or will force myself to pick it up Thursday after taxes. I need to stop and order some cookies for the 28th so may take care of both of those things tomorrow.
Haven’t done much since I got home. I didn’t sleep well again last night and I am tired today. Maybe I can crash hard and sleep tonight.
The specialist I was referred to that will check out the stone in my pancreas duct called today and made an appointment for me the 16th of April. The radiologist suggested I have another CT in two months so that is in that time frame. I will be anxious to see what they say.
Someone called and asked permission to do a little fundraising at a Democratic Convention this weekend. It didn’t take long for me to say yes! We had a nice phone conversation and connected a bit. So many people out there feeling the consequences of the ICE raids and the way things are being handled.
Unless I go to town tomorrow I have a quiet day at home with nothing on the calendar. Maybe I will be able to sleep in a bit and get rested. It feels like it has been a bit since I have felt rested.
The sleep apnea people called me today to tell me they got my referral. They are backed up so they didn’t give me a date to come in and get fitted for a sleep apnea machine. He hopes to be able to call in the next couple of weeks and schedule something. Not sure why he called today other than to tell me he had the referral. Not sure why they can’t book out ahead. Oh the questions I have that don’t have answers.
I do need to find an accountant to do Love in Action income tax return for last year. I can’t get accountants to call me back. Have left messages several times with two different ones but no luck. May have to pay the big bucks and take it to my accountant.
Things feel like they are settling back down again after all the excitement since last Thursday. I do function better when things are slow and calm. Funds continue to come in to Love in Action which is nice. The number of questions and comments has finally slowed down a bit. I will take one more look tonight to make sure I didn’t miss someone’s questions and then I might take tomorrow off from it. Sometimes I need to step away for a bit to remind myself it isn’t an emergency. Too many years in McDonald’s with a time clock ticking in my head and having to be very aware of how long customers were waiting.
Grateful to have a day off tomorrow, grateful the referrals went through, and grateful things are slowing back down.
